Forrester: WAF will be replaced
“The load on the WAF service has been reduced by 95%. Previously, our WAF handled up to 20 million malicious requests per month, but after Antibot was implemented, the number of attacking requests dropped to 1 million per month.”

Secwell difference
WAFs were one of the first tools used to block malicious bots by creating reputation-based WAF rules and assigning risk scores based on the historical behavior of IP addresses.
WAF rules are notoriously difficult to configure and update and are subject to a high false-positive rate. The more stringent the risk assessments set to enhance security, the higher the rate of false positives.
Running a WAF requires system resources and constant maintenance to add rules when new vulnerabilities and exploits are discovered.
